“For exceptionally meritorious service in action against enemy Japanese aircraft, shore batteries, surface forces, submarines and mines in the Pacific Campaign. Operating in actual contact with the enemy and under attack, the U.S.S. STRINGHAM performed her duties as a high speed transport in an outstanding manner. Operating over a long period of time from the Capture of Guadalcanal through the Occupation of Okinawa, the U.S.S. STRINGHAM made repeated landings in assault and in support of the landing forces, thereby contributing greatly to the decisive victory achieved. Her courageous determination and effort were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.”
